The last hike before the menace called COVID19

Well, the past few months have been really unbearable for most people on the planet with the outbreak of corona. Most of us are stuck at home due to complete lockdown in our respective countries. Life has become monotonous and the thought of going out in this pandemic without any mask or gloves scares the shit the shit out of me. Well, today was the same monotonous, stuck at home day since the lockdown has been extended to May17, 2020 in my country. So, while being bored at home I opened my laptop's photos folder and found these moments of me tasting the real FREEDOM.
This is the last hike/ trek did before getting locked down in my home.

This trek is named Deoriatal- Tungnath.

It is located at a height of about 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) above sea level. This peak provides views of the Himalayas, including Nandadevi, Trisul, Kedar Peak, Bandarpunch and Chaukhamba peaks.Chandrashila treks are one of the most popular treks among Indian trekking enthusiasts. The trek to the peak is 5 km. The trek route that starts from Chopta takes one to Tungnath (highest Shiva temple in the World), from here it is a kilometer long, and a steep trek. Though shorter in distance, steep climbing makes this trek rigorous.

The first big stop on the trek comes with Deoriatal. Situated at a good height of 7, 800 feet, the lake is gripped with forests all around. At a short distance ahead, the Chaukhamba massif glistens and the reflection of it is caught in the crystal-like waters of the lake. The effect is striking. The site is steeped in myths. As goes the story, the five pandava brothers from the Mahabharata, once thirsty, had come to the waters of Deoriatal and faced a test of wisdom. Camping here the first night under a stardusted sky makes the mellowest of memories on a trek. Next up on the line of visual ecstasies are the extensive meadows that turn to snow fields along the way to Chopta. As one furthers up the trail, great peaks jump to view—Bandarppoonch, Kedar, and Chaukhamba to name a few.

I really hope that this menace gets over really soon so that we can roan around these lush meadows again, lay down on these green grass, swim in these waters again and most important of all... breath the fresh air in the open again.
